vinegar, and the bones, simmer for five minutes. BEANS, FRENCH, ala Pou- lette. — Choose the beans small and tender ; clean them, and take out the fibers, and throw them into fresh water ; cut them all to one size ; put them upon a hot fire, in a pot or stew pan, with water, and a handful of salt ; let them be well done and very green ; throw them into cold water, drain, and put them into a stewpan with a bit of butter, cut onions in little dice, do them white in butter, dust in a little flour, let them cook a little without browning ; add a spoonful of soup ; mix it well with hashed parsley and scallions ; salt and pepper ; when done enough put in the beans, give them a boil ; thicken the sauce with two or three yolks of eggs ; finish with the juice of a lemon and butter. BEANS, FRENCH, to boil.— Cut the ends of your beans off, then cut them slantways ; put them in strong salt and water as you do them ; let them stand an hour ; boil them in a large quantity of water, with a handful of salt in it, they will be a fine green ; when you dish them up pour on them melted butter. BEANS, FRENCH, to pre- serve for Winter. — Pick them oung, and throw into a little wooden eg a layer of them three inches deep ; then sprinkle them with salt, put ano- ther layer of beans, and do the same as high as you think proper, alternately with salt, but not two much of this. Lay over them a plate, or cover of wood, that will go Into the keg, and put a heavy stone on it. A pickle will rise from the beans and salt. If they are too salt, the soaking and boiling will be sufficient to make them pleasant to the taste.
